What is a Dune Buggy?

A dune buggy is a motor vehicle that is used for recreational purposes. The vehicle has large wheels and tires that are designed to travel over sand, beaches and desert sand dunes.

Dune Buggies were discovered around the 1950s when beach goers stripped down cars and put bigger wheels on them for better traction. The vehicles therefore have not have a roofs or covering like ordinary cars. They are also built low to ensure stability of the vehicle while traversing over sandy terrain.

Tips for driving a Dune Buggy

●        Drive between the sand dunes, not on top of them

●        Always have your seatbelt on in case you need to slam on the breaks. This will keep your body from getting slammed by the buggy.

●        Do not make sharp turns while driving at a high speed since this will cause the dune buggy to tip over.
